The Reel Thing

Dedicated to those who get it, give it and live it

The reel thing

It's not found in movies
Or a Hallmark card
Not about getting your rocks off
Or playing a part

It's concretely elusive
Like the one who got away
Can't be smothered
Which causes it to fade

Can't be bought
With Bill Gates millions
Or created by a spell
Is not a fantasy
But a living out
Day to day

It can't be promised with a prenup
Or forced by someone's hand
It's not a crap shoot or poker game
Doesn't show off
In a zuit suit

It is fought for
And grows in spite of fears
It endures pain
Sorrow
Opens its heart to hear
It knows the voice of
Of the one it cares for
It is love enduring over
And over
As it winds down
All our years
